How to replace back cover for samsung galaxy active 2 active 3 watch. 

yesI noticed that the lines did not align but was too late, i have not had any issues with it so far but thank you for bringing that up and helping others.

@@JackofAllCarbinc its for the ECG. thank you for the vid.

This part is important. Great job between both of you. Also in the video, I didn't realize the gasket (thin rubber strip) was sticky on both sides. It's so tiny, I didn't realize I had to pull the white paper off. Thanks for the video and alignment part guys.😊

glad this helped, and thats pretty much same thing samsung repair shop does. They way over charge for something that can be done in 10 min. Thats why i really wanted to make this video, i had called samsung as well and they had told me it was 50 just to check to see what was wrong. Anyway hopefully you hit that thumbs up and thank you for comment since thats what gets this video out to more people searching for a way to fix their watch. Glad its helping people save some money its bad enough samsung is selling us items that are known to have issues and then charge us to repair them becuase they used lowest bidder parts.

Had you watch stopped working (even turning on) before your repair. My watch is missing its back and not turning on. I don't want to purchase the parts if there is no chance of me getting the watch to work again. Thanks in advance.

Can you please link the Amazon parts. 💞🙏

Glad it helped, just wanted to make video to hopefully help out some people out there save some money.

lol....i think i know which video, i saw one too when i needed to fix my watch and it just confused me...Once i figured it out i ended up making the video since i saw that many people were having same issue and nothing out there was helpful. Anyway glad it helped you and thank you for the comment it helps the video

Glad it helped you out

so glad it helped hopefully you hit that thumbsup to allow the video to be seen by others. Glad its saving people money, i was told by samsung they would charge me 50 just to troubleshoot so spent a few hours figuring out what was wrong with it and did myself.....just wanted to show others the same.

​@@JackofAllCarbincHow did you trouble shoot? What all did you do?

Your welcome, glad it helped, it was a pain figuring out how it went since they dont come with instructions.

Glad it helped you out.

thanks for the tip, hopefully thats easier for others

I did the same thing.

Im glad it helped, thank you for the comment helps out the channel.

your welcome and glad it helped and hopefully saved you some money

i am glad it helped, i saw other videos that just dragged on and a bunch of filler and didn't really help so that's why i made this, thank you for watching and hopefully hitting that thumbs up, it really helps my channel, glad it helped.

Your so welcomed.... glad it saved you money. We had talked to samsung and they wanted to charge us just to look at it, sad that they know this is a problem with their watches and just charge you to fix their issues of getting low quality pieces to make as much as possible.

Glad it was helpful!

LOL.... No she is not but i am, I had to buy another cover since i didnt realize the line was off, I was too busy trying to get a decent video that i didnt realize till after the fact what i did. If you look at my chest freezer and shed video you will know what ocd looks like. Anyway glad it helped.

Trust me i know ...it drove me nuts, glad it helped you out and hopefully you hit that thumbs up to help push it out to others.

your welcome, glad it helped.

awesome, glad it helped you save some money.

What was wrong with your watch before this fix?

Glad it helped! Thank you

Glad it helped

@@JackofAllCarbinc ​I finally got the adhesive for the back. Mine came partially unstuck to the clear plastic while trying to get the red backing off and trying to not stretch it was a challenge. It finally came off the way you did yours. (I love to cut vinyl decals with my Cricut, so using the clear transfer tape to line things up was similar to this task. Just on a much smaller scale.) I finally got mine off and was able to line it up on my watch back plate pretty good. I was worried about the stretched part that was in a wavy upwards curl, but it seems to have laid down pretty good when I stuck it to the backing plate. So half of my watch is fixed. Just wanting on the front adhesive to come in so I can fix the rest. It's sad that these adhesive pieces for this watch are only sold and shipped from China (that I've seen so far). Yes this watch is older and not new anymore, but I love mine. Still works great. Again, can't thank you enough for showing us how to do this.

Glad I could help

awesome, glad it helped you,

Glad it helped so far mine has not had any issues but just make sure you give it a real good cleaning before adding the new tape so theres no gaps or gunk in between that can cause it to loosen again over time.

Glad it helped, hopefully you hit that thumbs up to help others save some money.

Glad it helped!Hopefully you hit that thumbsup to help push the video to others and hopefully save them some money.

@@JackofAllCarbinc i did it and since this was a corporate gift, i am sharing with my colleagues too

your welcome

glad it helped

Glad it helped!

your welcome glad it helped

You're welcome

I just purchased the glue disks and worked perfectly thank you!!!!! You are a life saver!!

Hi, you will be fine using old cover, i did and only bought the ahesive tape and was only thing i needed, just give it a good cleaning and save yourself money, unless the cover is dented or damaged in any way that will not allow for a flush seal.

yes if you are talking about the back cover light heat and use a sharp pick to slowly pull off then you can replace......you are basically replacing a piece that was done by samsung so as long as you take great care of making sure the seal area is very clean and properly attach the cover it should be as new from factory i just would not go deep diving since your replacing a part that is known for having defects so im pretty sure alot of people have had water go in their watch due to the back cover starting to loose the seal.

awesome, glad it helped you and hopefully saved you some money. You would be surprised the cost they wante dto charge to fix that. Hopefully you hit that thumbs up button to help push the video out to others. thank you

What glue did you use because I need something for a retaining ring on my digital camera by the retractable lense. The adhesive sticky stuff lost it's stickiness.

I would just replace the whole thing in case the old one is bent and not creating a perfect seal....if it has come loose and fallen off it might be dented or scratched up and not allow for a perfect seal.

You are so welcome. glad it helped

Hi, Watch works perfectly after doing this with no issues, You have to make sure your buying the correct size for your watch, they have the watch in 2 sizes the 40 and 44 mm which is a small difference but difference thats only thing i can think of also make sure its correct model. Hope that helps.

Tell us about you repair? Did that make your watch charge charging the back plate?

glad it helped

hi, as far as runing and sweating it has been used multiple times already without any issues, in the rain i could not answer but it should be as new since the parts are the same used by samsung. the biggest thing is taking the time to properly clean the old glue when removing and taking your time when putting on the coverand making sure not to damage the round adhesive ring after installing the new cover i have had zero issues with it and probably have run way over 200 miles with it. I have not noticed issues with the moniter or any of the functions either. Hope that helps.

@@JackofAllCarbinc thanks for your reply. Appreciate it

it's water resistant not water proof

glad you liked it and thank you for the comment

glad it helped you.

Glad it helped!

tried new charger?

should be able to find on amazon ...just make sure its for the right size they make 2 sizes i believe

No this does not have anything to do with charging, its just a cover to keep dust/water out, that would be some damage to internal components

glad it helped, thank you for the comment.

sorry not sure on that.

thank you hopefully you hit the thumbsup button to help get it out to others that need it, thanks for comment really helps out the channel.

Hi ...no no issues with sleep monitor. I have my kids watch that just stopped counting steps and its the older active so not sure if there are common issues with these watches.

Glad I could help!

Glad it was helpful!

I dont believe so ....i replaced the cover and watch works great without any issues.

your welcome hope it helped and hopefully you hit that thumbsup button to help spread the video.

Hi I am sorry but really dont know the answer to this. Maybe someone watching video can help answer this?

Hey I am also facing this issue now with my watch not charging, did you manage to get it to charge after fixing the back plate?

not sure...anyone out there know?

@@JackofAllCarbincThe support told me that this was just design. But with the galaxy watch 4 Is the body fat measurement done with it.

the position of the cover does not really matter for charging since th ecover has nothing to do with charging, ....did water or anything else get in there? Might be a bad charger maybe?

Glad it helped!

sorry i dont believe so.

sorry not sure where to buy those parts

HI sorry i really dont know what type of glue, If it was up to me i would just pay for the round tape, i believe you can just by the tape portion without the cover. not sure if glue would seal out sweat/water the round circle tape is kinda like a little gasket so again its up to you but i would probably just spend the few dollars to feel a little piece of mind.

It was my question too. It's happened with me, I had no idea what I should do. Thanks for the video you are lifesaver 🤭👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏 many thanks

i mean galaxy watch active 2

no i dont believe it would be the issue.

sorry not sure, as soon as i found out back cover was gone i stopped using.

heard that from others as well, not sure why but quality should really be checked if they want to stay in the fight with apple.

You're welcome!

most of these are the same can you find the part with the sticker?

so you can do a quick search on amazon and you can see that they sell with the cover or just the adhesive stickers its 10 dollars for just the adhesive stickers or 15 with the cover....if you still have the cover you can buy the adhesive stickers only that match the sie of your watch....please remember they make these watches in two sizes so make sure you buy the one that is the sze for your watch. i believe its either 40 or 44

yes that is what i did as well....just make sure there are no issues with the original one like a dent or anything that will keep it from creating a good seal.

Hi you can just do a quick search on amazon for galaxy watch rear cover.....they make the watch in two sizes so you have to make sure to buy the one that is correct size for your watch...i believe its either the 40 or 44

easily found on amazon

same process but just make sure you get the correct part for it.

quick search on amazon will find the parts. Just make sure you get the one for your watch.

yes

@@JackofAllCarbinc Thanks. I assume as my watch isn't charging or turning on, that there is no hope for me even if I replace the missing back.

does it still turn on? the watch still should turn off even without the back cover. if it does not i would say its a loss....you can try putting in rice

@@JackofAllCarbinc no, it is stuck in a reboot loop... I ended up buying a new one. The real bummer is, I couldn't even use it as a trade-in, so now it's just sitting around collecting dust.

@@territ4924 sorry to hear that. Wish it would have been an easy fir.

you can find at amazon.

sorry not sure

I also have the lid on active2 peeled off. I want to buy a watch 4. is there a problem? :)

this is only for galaxy active watches, not sure how the other watches are made...sorry

no

the person i bought from no loner has but it was purchased on ebay for 22 dollars. I can see if i can find a supplier and post a better link but you can find on ebay/amazon with lots of sellers selling same piece.

to the watch or cover

lol, Well at least you can fix the old one and gift to someone.

yes no issues

@@JackofAllCarbinc thank you sir. Will try to apply the replacement back cover and hopes it doesn’t fall off again.

will try and post a good link, thanks for watching.

lol... yeah once i put it on i looked and the lines were crooked on mine drives me a bit crazy, luckily its facing my wrist so i dont see it.

@@JackofAllCarbinc Very helpful video, thank you! Question: Do the black lines on back need to be straight so that the two "contact pins" on the inside of the main watch connect to the metal tabs on the inside of the sensor cover? Edit: mine has "two metal pins" not seen on your model. My model is Active 2 44mm LTE version (Model SM-R25U).

I agree, if you can't see it forget it if it's already done. If you get sick of seeing it all you gotta do is turn it off and pop out the heatgun/hair dryer and replace the position and should be able to reuse the same adhesive if you are careful.

And you didn't ask me but no they don't need to be straight, just messing with him because I'm a ocd-nazi hahaha

not me, think it was just the sweat.

you can just check the size and look on amazon with that desciption
